These analyses all represent the Gray Ore, and the samples analyzed 
could not be distinguished from each other in appearance. The gray 
variety has never had a good name at Gallia Furnace. The amount of 
silicious matter is shown to be excessive. The Nelsonville sample from 
W. B. Brooks’s land is fully up to the best standard of the Gray Ore in 
the southern counties. 
B. BUCHTEL ORE. | 
Of the ore that lies eighty-four feet above Coal No. VI, on land of 
Akron Furnace Company, Bessemer, Athens county, the following anal- 
ysis was obtained :

The above analysis represents the best grade of the outcrop ore. The 
results of seven analyses, in which only the metallic iron and the silic- 
ious matter were determined, are given below. The samples were taken 
from the stock pile of the furnace during the first month of its operation. 
A more careful selection of ores has doubtless since been made, by which 
the yield ‘would be increased. The samples were all calcined ore.
